Kamryn Pettway earned the right to keep his spot at No. 1, while a new face from Kentucky made his debut.

We broke down the best running backs in the conference so far this season:

10. KERRYON JOHNSON, Auburn

Last week vs. Ole Miss: 42 yards, 2 TDs, 11 ATT, 3.8 YPC

Season: 580 yards, 8 TDs, 116 ATT, 5.0 YPC, 82.9 YPG

Last week’s rank: No. 9 (-1)

Why he’s here: Pettway might be ringing up the most yardage for Auburn, but it’s Johnson who finds the end zone more frequently. Johnson returned from an ankle injury in Week 9 with a pair of scores, including the game’s final touchdown with 6 minutes to play to put the Tigers ahead by a decisive 40-29 advantage. His 8 TDs on the season are tied for the most in the SEC among running backs. The other guy is …

9. BENNY SNELL JR., Kentucky

Last week vs. Missouri: 192 yards, 2 TDs, 38 ATT, 5.1 YPC

Season: 661 yards, 8 TDs, 118 ATT, 5.6 YPC, 82.6 YPG

Last week’s rank: N/R

Why he’s here: We chalked up Snell Jr.’s Week 3 performance, in which he scored 4 touchdowns, as a product of facing a porous New Mexico State defense. Snell has since proven us wrong. In the last three games, the Kentucky freshman has rushed for a combined 414 yards and 3 touchdowns, all Wildcats wins. Even if half of his total scores came in one game, Snell very much belongs on this list.

8. TRAYVEON WILLIAMS, Texas A&M

Last week vs. New Mexico State: 49 yards, TD, 8 ATT, 6.1 YPC

Season: 776 yards, 6 TDs, 99 ATT, 7.8 YPC, 97.0 YPG

Last week’s rank: No. 4 (-4)

Why he’s here: After rushing for 217 yards in Week 6 against Tennessee, Williams has produced two sub-100-yard efforts. The freshman still is the nation’s leading rusher among freshmen backs, however, leading Ohio State’s Mike Weber (96.3 YPG) by percentage points.

7. DERRIUS GUICE, LSU

Last week: Bye

Season: 621 yards, 7 TDs, 78 ATT, 8.0 YPC, 88.7 YPG

Last week’s rank: No. 7 (no change)

Why he’s here: With Leonard Fournette likely even healthier after a bye week, it’ll be curious to see what kind of role Guice plays out of the LSU backfield. Chances are, a very big one, providing the Tigers with arguably the most formidable tandem in the nation.

6. DAMIEN HARRIS, Alabama

Last week: Bye

Season: 700 yards, TD, 86 ATT, 8.1 YPC, 87.1 YPG

Last week’s rank: No. 6 (no change)

Why he’s here: The biggest challenge for Harris going forward will be finding the end zone. The freshman has been deferring to teammate Bo Scarbrough (5 TDs) for most of the year or not getting a chance as quarterback Jalen Hurts has become quite adept at taking it in himself with 9 rushing touchdowns to co-lead the SEC.

5. RAWLEIGH WILLIAMS III, Arkansas

Last week: Bye

Season: 807 yards, 5 TDs, 153 ATT, 5.3 YPC, 100.9 YPG

Last week’s rank: No. 5 (no change)

Why he’s here: The bye week couldn’t have come at better time for Williams and Arkansas, who needed to regroup after a bad 56-3 loss to Auburn. Chances are good that the sophomore will add to his four 100-yard games total at least two more times before the end of the year.

4. STANLEY “BOOM” WILLIAMS, Kentucky

Last week vs. Missouri: 182 yards, TD, 19 ATT, 9.6 YPC

Season: 821 yards, 3 TDs, 109 ATT, 7.5 YPC, 102.6 YPG

Last week’s rank: No. 8 (+4)

Why he’s here: Williams is our biggest (and only riser) on the list this week, courtesy of his first 100-yard game since Week 4. Splitting carries with freshman Benny Snell Jr. hasn’t taken away from Boom’s thunder, however, as the junior is one of just 4 SEC running backs averaging more than 100 yards per contest.

3. RALPH WEBB, Vanderbilt

Last week: Bye

Season: 855 yards, 6 TDs, 164 ATT, 5.2 YPC, 106.9 YPG

Last week’s rank: No. 3 (no change)

Why he’s here: Webb likely will become Vanderbilt’s all-time leading rusher — supplanting Zac Stacy atop the Commodores’ all-time list — within the next two games. Perhaps fewer if he can bulldoze his way to 230 and the second 200-plus yard performance of his career when Vanderbilt returns to action Saturday at Auburn.

2. LEONARD FOURNETTE, LSU

Last week: Bye

Season: 670 yards, 5 TDs, 83 ATT, 8.1 YPC, 167.5 YPG

Last week’s rank: No. 2 (no change)

Why he’s here: Now that he’s presumably healthy, Fournette can make up for the three games he lost to injury earlier in the season. It’s feasible to assume that if he can maintain his current pace, which has seen the junior produce more than 100 yards in all four games he’s competed in this year, he could enter the Heisman Trophy discussion as so many predicted prior to the season. But LSU likely has to win out, too.

1. KAMRYN PETTWAY, Auburn

Last week vs. Ole Miss: 236 yards, TD, 30 ATT, 7.9 YPC

Season: 933 yards, 7 TDs, 148 ATT, 6.3 YPC, 133.3 YPG

Last week’s rank: No. 1 (no change)

Why he’s here: Pettway produced the biggest game of his young career during one of the biggest stages he’s played on, barreling his way to a career high against a tough Ole Miss defense. The sophomore now ranks No. 6 in the nation in rushing and doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
